ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted in central-eastern Poland in the years 1999-2003. It analyzed the effect of catch crop green fertilizers on soil humidity in a three-year-long crop vegetable rotation (white cabbage, onion, red beet). Oats, field pea and spring vetch cultivated in pure sowing and as mixtures were used as green fertilizers. The effect of green manures was compared with ploughed in farmland manure in the dose of 25 t·ha^-1 and the control without any organic fertilization. White cabbage was grown in the first year after organic fertilization, onion – in the second and red beet – in the third.

Key words: organic fertilization, green manures, soil humidity, white cabbage, onion, red beet.
